How would you guarantee my safety without a state? What would stop some group of people who decided to rape and pillage from doing so?

Let me save you some time :)

There are never actual well-thought-out answers, just a chain of poorly constructed what-ifs

The answers always put them in control without any guardrails and just require everyone to assume they're good-hearted people with good intentions.

Exactly. And then when you question them further, you often find out that they would not be one of those good-hearted people who would pay them to solve the problem.

Does the state guarantee you that? What's your net worth?

See my comments to others about Haiti and Somalia. I will enjoy you also evading the uncomfortable truth of what happens when there is no state.

Also, not that it's any of your business, but my net worth is in the negative ten thousand dollar range. What about yours, since we're sharing? Will you even tell me?
